I am a secondary teacher of English in Southern Spain. I studied MFL in Jaén and I got a DPSI certificate in Law in England. I started my teaching career in Newcastle back in 2000, where I lived for 3 years. Once I returned home, I taught in a public school and got ready to sit the "oposiciones" exam, which I passed!!! Currently, I am teaching in Spain, which has become my definite residence in since 2004.

"Poner la mano en el Fuego" = To put the hand in the fire*

To put one's head on the block for someone. The idiomatic expression "Pongo la mano en el fuego y no me quemo" is used to state your blind trust in someone .

"Pongo la mano en el fuego por mi compañero"
"Sus amigos confían en él 100%. Ponen la mano en el fuego por él donde haga falta"
"Pongo la mano en el fuego y no me quemo cuando digo que...."
"Hoy por hoy, no pongo la mano en el fuego por nadie."
